Watterson's joy over the elec tion of Gov Wilson is hard for us to understand, when we remember the names the Colonel was calling the Governor last spring. But we suppose that the Colonel has been wanting a Democrat elected president for so long that he would have been pleased If his Satanic Majesty had been elected on the Democratic ticket. Will Progressive Party Live? Will the Progressive Party live? This question has been asked us fre quently and we have always frankly answered that we did not know But w e do not consider that question narU- as Imnortant, as. Will the orln ciples for which the Progressive Party stands live? will tne rule or me bosses be overthrown? Will the trusts be controlled, so that the capitalist, the laboring man and the consumer will all be justly treated? Will the alliance between crooked business and crooked politics be dlstroyed? Will the people be allowed to rule? Will human rights be placed above proper ty rights? Will human resources be conserved through an enlarged meas ure of social and Industrial justice ? Theseare the Important questions and we' can unhesitatingly answer that these principles will live. The important thing for the people of the country Is not what party se cured the passage of certain laws, but the Dassaue of these laws. It Is n it thenameof a party but It's principles that is important Some people seem to think that If a man was once a Democrat he must al ways be a Democrat or once a Itepub-1 llcan he must always be a Republican. It would make no difference to these people if the party did not stand for a single thing for which it stood when he joined it, because lie once was a member of that party he must con tinue so as long as he lives. This Is an absurd position. Times are chang ing, we are confronting new condi tions and new problems have arisen which must be solved. Every man should study these conditions and these problems and vole for the party, which he thinks offers the most reason able solution of the problems. Some people we fear place party above principle or country. Let us stand for principles and not parties. Don't say a thing Is right simply be- , cause the Republican, Democrat or Progressive Party advocates it.

The Initial meeting of Home Mis sion week was held on Monday after noon at the Christian church. A large number of attendants testified to the interest manifested In this subject. American social and re ligious conditions were ably presented in papers read that showed careful preparation had been given to the subjects by the women presenting them. The women of the Christian Mis slonary Society had carefully pre pared a fine program on the subjects I given them, also good music cheered the occasion. Mrs. George Cooper, president of , the society, presided The church had been tastefully decorated with (low ers, leaves and plants and presented an attractive appearance. After the devotional services Miss Nannie Wright had a tine paper upon the Indians and the work done by the Christian church among them, show ing that they have. Mission Stations as far north as Manitoba. Many fine points were brought out by this care fully prepared paper and many urgent calls upon our loyalty to the Red Men emphasized. An Inspiring song "As Goes Amer ica, So Goes the World." was sung with vigor. Mrs Lavina Allspach followed with her subject, "America's debt to the negro." This paper brought out the fact that it takes Ereater "? t0 ork 6 home fhan. to create a halo around your head abroad. She told the story of a brave black man who returned to Africa to labor for the uplift of his race. When he graduated In this country from an Industrial School the president of the school gave him a square, a saw and a hatchet and said to him, "whenever you lind anj thing crooked In your work, square it up If you find any thing a misfit, saw It off. If you find anything good, nail it down." By following this advice he wrought a great good among the natives. Miss Gladys Hogsett sang "Ninety and Nine," in a most pleasing manner. Mrs. Rudislll followed with a paper on the orientals and Asiatics and our work among the Chinese and Japanese in the United States. All the papers showed that careful thought had been given the subjects and were both profitable and helpful. Then an open discussion was held upon the topics of the afternoon and the good meeting closed with "Amer ica," the song which thrills every true citizen. Adjourned to meet on Tuesday at the First Presbyterian church at 2:30 p. m. All are urged to attend these meet ings. TUESDAY The second session of the Home Mission meeting was held on Tuesday afternoon at the Presbyterian church with Mrs. L. II. Dill presiding. A large and interested audience proved that the interest was growing and it is hoped that many more will attend the sessions to be held on the succes sive days of this week. The meet ings are bringing about an alllllatlon i0l uie women of the different churches which will be conduslve of much fcood to each society, as well as to the In dividual members. The church had been made very attractive with flowers and plants. After the opening devotional exer cises the subjects of the afternoon were announced by the president. A short poem on the theme "The Fron- tier and our Island Possessions," our .nnnt.r.i.K.Fn.ii! from Mia nritrinal nnP.sslnns to the nresent acaulsltlon of the Panama Zone also our frontier lines, was given by Mrs. Joseph fllb oen who witn tne aiu oicoiureu unarm told about the vast territory waiting to be christianized. She quoted from Dr. Josiah Strong, who said, "He does most to christianize the w6rld, who does most to make the United States thoroughly christian. The wall you build here will strenghten the wall in every land. Home missions is no longer a question of geography but it is a question of problems, no matter where they mayte- found, in the ast or west, the north or south, the city or the country." Miss Clay, of"the Episcopal church, in an able and comprehensive paper Dresented the work of their church a- mong the orientals, Chinese, Japanese ' and nawaians. J Next was a song by Mrs. Rogers, followed by Mrs. Annette rnomas on the islands of Porto Rico and Cuba, showing that while the United States does things for these,' islands politi cally it does nothing- for them, relig iously. A tender and touching poe-n called "The Masters Coming," was read by Miss Amelia Herron, The thought brought out was this, ', e not for getful tq entertain strangers and help the homeless, the weary and sad, for then you entertain the Master' una wares." Miss Nannie Bowles told of the lumber camps and the work among Kerns' Delineator Offer. For the next ten days I will take orders for the Delineator at the unus ual low price of 90c a year. This of fer not good after November 29. Mail orders will receive prompt attention. Nothing makes a Christmas gift. Sent tony address in the U. S. Leave or send your orders. C. M. KERNS E. MAIN ST, the lumber jacks, who number 350,000 and are found in 30 states. Some per sonal experiences of those who had visited in these camps were related and the story of the Sky Pilot re ferred to at the close of the paper. An apostle among these lumbermen was Mrs. Hlgglns, whose work was worthy of exteuded note. An all mind syposium followed in which Mrs. McConnaughey, of the Baptist church, Mrs. Illestand, of the Christian church, and Mrs. Watts, of the Methodist church, each presented most Interestingly the work being done by these churches among the frontier people. The hour was grow ing late but the interest seemed un flagging. Wednesday the meeting was held at the Baptist church but it was Impos sible to secure a report of the meet ing for this week. Dishes all kinds and prices at Tener & Co. adv - Buy at Home. In his talk at the Boys and Girls Farm Congress Friday afternoon, Hon. A. P. Sandles gave excellent reasons why the people should patron ize home merchants and not mall order houses. He asked the children if Sears & Roe buck or Montgomery Ward & Oo1 were furnishing anything towards giving the Farm Congress and re ceived the answer no. He told them that the merchants of Hillsboro were paying for their entertainment; that the local 'merchants paid taxes that helped keep up their schools, build their roads and assisted in all mat ters for the upbuilding and improv ment of the county. The big mall order houses, he said, had no Interest in them except to get their money and assisted them in no way; that when their monev was paid to these houses It was gone while if spent with the local merchants, the local mer chants might spend it with them. He emphasized the proposition that the prosperity of the home merchants added to their DrosDerlty and that it was unquestionaoiy to uie auvu.,aKj of the farmer to buy at home. He further said that he had no doubt but that the farmers received better value for the money spent with the home merchants than with a mail order house, when spent Tt seems to us that Mr. bandies' arguments in favor of buying at home are unanswerable and that his advice should Joe followed. - When you are buying of a home merchant you are not buying a pig in a poke. You see what you are get ting. If anything is unsatisfactory the merchant is right here to make it right. Further than that he often carries you when you are hard up, while with the pail order house It is alwavs cash. The local merchant helps you build your churches,' school houses, and roads and assists in all public enter prises, gives you better value for your money and accommodates you when you need it. The mall order house takes your money and is done with you. ' From a selfish standpoint even you should buy at home.

Editou of News-Herald : In a recent issue of this paper men tion was made of a proposed County Experiment Farm or of a trained ex pert to advise with farmers and land owners, and of the efforts being made to secure one or both for Highland county. The U. S, Department of Agricul ture, the various xieriment stations and the colleges of agriculture have for years been at work investigating, experimenting and collecting knowl edge of value to farmers. This inform mation has been disseminated through bulletins, the press and students, far mors institutes and extension schools are important helps, but there is some thing more needed and such a need is being met by demonstration farms, local experiment farms and by county or district experts. Several county experiment farms have been establish In Ohio and they are a good thing, but there is needed a special tax to raise funds for purchas ing and equipping such a farm and for running expenses. The inital expense would be perhaps 810,000, and the run ning expenses though small mutt necessarily be greater than the sale of produce each year. In Highland county there are two distinct soil types and a test farm on one type would be of little value to those farming on the other kind of soil; for instance, the soil of the east ern and nothern parts of the county is naturally well drained, is mostly clay loam and is well suited to corn, clover, orchard grass and blue grass, while the soil of the western and southwestern sections is mostly clay that needs through underdralnage be fore corn or clover will succeed and is tetter suited to timothy and red top for hay. This division is general, though the characteristic soils of each section are distinctly different. The demonstration farms have been established in several southern states by the U. S. Department of Agricul ture to induce the land-owners to get away from the one crop system, so ruinous to their land, and to raise corn, alfalfa, pork and dairy products Instead of only cotton or tobacco. These farms .were helpful in study ing into the habits of and in finding a remedy for the cotton boll wcavil, the breeding of animals and plants lm- ( mune to disease and other problems. However the objec s of demonstra- j tion and test work are nearly identi-1 cal in Ohio and could all bo attained without duplication of labor expense, i One argument against the county test farm Is that very few people would go to see the work or to study the results. The trained expert could go to the farmer, study his soil and farm con-1 ditlons and be able to offer Helpful suggestions, supervise soil or crop tests and to answer the numerous questions farmers ask each other, or any one who has some knowledge of the techni cal side of farming or of the under lying scientific principles. After making a careful study of ag ricultural extension, as it is termed, and knowing something of what Is hoped to be accomplished, and the needs an J wlsftes of the farmers them selves, the writer wishes to advise that the county expert be tried first, then the test farm or even tjie town ship expert may be secured,! demand and results justify such a co&rse.
